I did not really have Internet access while I was in school other than receiving and sending e-mails. The first dial-up flat-rate offer in Germany started as I was already out of school. There was nothing great to do for hours on end on the computer.  While still in high school, I was on small basement LANs every second weekend or so. We were carpooling to transport all the stuff. After experiencing multiplayer games, single player felt so stale, I did not miss anything by not gaming alone at all. In my free time at home, I dabbled in programming, and my parents were not against that, but I never had the drive to do that daily or as much as I would have played WoW or something, had it existed at that time. | ||

Eventually I got fed up with my parents trying to set times on me, so I decided to punish my parents in return, if my mother threatened to take the internet away, I took away the phone from her until she surrendered it, and if she tried to trick me, I'd always think a step ahead and took something else in advance, she eventually tried to punish me more heavily and took the powerplug from the computer away from me, so I took the entire phone from her, mind you I was around 13 years old or older. This struggle continued for about two weeks, then she finally threatened to cancel the internet, I eventually found out there are free ways to get the internet. She canceled it for a few days and I still had access to the internet so she reactivated it again. Another win for me. This struggle continued off and on and must have lasted maybe a month or two. Afterwards I was allowed to have 100% internet access. I know this sounds a bit evil, but my parents were a bit... Evil to me, especially me rather than my sisters. And there are a lot of issues with both my mother and father, and yes I shouldn't have done some of the things I did, but in the end they should've treated me more human since I worked for free for them, cleaned, cooked, etc... while my sisters did whatever they wanted. | ||

When I really wanted to game, I snuck on the computer after midnight when my parents were asleep. Needless to say, I had a hard time staying awake in class. Another workaround I found was that my shoulder blocked the bottom left corner of my monitor from the mirror. From this I was able to play on a gba emulator. im blown away by this having had a very loose "do what you want as long as you get Cs and Bs" upbringing and other stories about domineering asian parents its so foreign to me | ||

And then the CIA came and offered you to train at Langley, Virginia and sent you to Russia to retrieve secret nuclear files, where your ingenuity and resilience conquered all odds and you obtained your objective and rescued a gorgeous Mossad agent (because Mossad only hires supermodels according to movies) and you left for a vacation to Barbados. Now that would be an awesome ending. But even without, yours is a pretty inspirational (though not emulateable for all) tale. | ||

Did you check to see if I was Russian or something? o.O; Privet, ya ruski. But the sister wanted to become a FBI agent. I just wanted to learn more about computers =/ | ||

Parents who restrict kids like that, they really should be more reasonable...and learn trusting their kids more. That way, I'm sure, the kids would be more inclined to do all the studies and every day chores. o.O Sure, I know there are individuals who'd throw away school and everything away if they had no control over them, but there's that thing called moderation and compromise. Should be used more instead of just pure restriction. | ||
